It really just depends on your guitar and the string spacing. What he's saying is that some guitars have tapered necks, where they're narrower around the nut and get wider as you go up the fretboard, so maybe there's a point where the F1 won't be wide enough on a particular neck. If you need wider, then go for the F3. I guess you could just use the F3 for everything, but it's possible that the tension wouldn't be ideal if it was used on a neck that's too narrow. It's difficult to make a product that works on every single guitar out there, because there's so much variety.
Just ordered both of these. Thx for the demo.
Very good review and demonstration. Thank you! 👍
Ordering one today!
Important factor that I missed was, cost of each?
I have several Shubb Capos.
I had not heard of the "yoke style"..on my way.
Interesting video. Anyone know the tune at the end?
Hi Phil - That's a bit of the "Kerfunken Jig." - Teja Gerken
Thanks and very nice it is too.
I don't understand. Why only 5 playable frets! Shouldn't thr capo move all the way up to the 14th fret?
